Well, I just realized I haven’t posted a blog on here in a while, so I’m doing that now. This will just be a quick update on what I’ve added recently, some changes that are to come, and a quick breakdown on why I might be late on some strips in the near future.
First off, I’m moving from Kansas City, MO to Lincoln, NE… it’s about a 3 hour drive and I’m doing it over the course of 3 weekends while still working fulltime inbetween them. Because of that, some of the comics may be less detailed than others and some may be posted later than others. That’s out of my hands at this point, but there will be something posted 5 days a week (it might just be two strips here, one there, and another two over whereever… who knows).
Second, I’ve started going through the archive and Tagging everything I can. On the right sidebar, at the bottom, you can see a collection of them all and clicking on them will take you to a preview page of all the comics within that tag. The bigger and bolder the word, the more comics within that tag. It’ll give the archive a bit more depth to it and will make it easier for you to find what you want via tags and search. It’ll also be a much easier way to keep the running gags straight in your (and my) head.
Third, I want to redo the website sometime and am rethinking the dimensions of the comic. It’s usually 600xSomething, with the occasional 700 or 800 depending on frames and detail… if you have opinions, let them be known. And as a subpoint here, I’m going to be doing something called Artsy Fartsy Fridays in the near future. I’ve done one or two here and there, and basically it has been me experimenting with layers, different drawing/shading techniques, etc… expect them to become a regular thing in July/August once the move is over and I’m settled in.
And finally, I’ve decided to keep the vote incentive as a randomly updated thing that has nothing to do with the current comic. When using it daily, I find myself relying on it to complete the strip and that takes away from the comic itself rather than adding to it. If I change my mind again in the future, you’ll read about it here.
I’m off to keep unpacking/organizing/cleaning the new place while I’m here. Expect Mondays update to be delayed since I don’t have a table to draw on and no internet in my actual apartment. Thanks for checking in, reading the strip, and bearing with me during all this bullshit. You rule.
